After Ariana Grande & The Manchester Attacks: Three 'Unrealities' Are Killing Britain's Children

An important article by Jenny Taylor

Three unrealities have collided in Britain, and they are allowing our children to die.

The first unreality is hinted at in the very words of Ariana Grande, at whose concert in Manchester so many lives were destroyed on the night of May 22. Grande, a 23-year-old American singer, called this her Dangerous Woman Tour.
In the hit song "Side to Side" she sings: "Tonight I’m making deals
with the devil / And I know it’s gonna get me in trouble ... / Let them
hoes know."

The Americanization of entertainment has no
contact at all with English traditions of modesty and the protection of
children against forces they cannot possibly withstand alone. Yet the
Grande event has been sentimentalized in the days since the attack as a
magical rite of passage - even being called "the most memorable event
of their lives" by the prime minister.

That the dark excess stalking such entertainment events contributed to a moral and social atmosphere in which wholesale sex grooming
was able to take place without public comment for two whole decades
seems to have escaped the sentimentalists' notice. Sexuality was
something that used to be held to need the constraints of parents and
guardians and society as a whole. Now parents ferry their children to
these spectacles.

The new conception of raunch culture as a path to liberation rather than oppression is a convenient (and lucrative) fantasy. -Ariel Levy, author of Female Chauvinist Pigs.

A quick glance at the top video
posted on Grande’s website reveals a couple simulating sex on the hood
of a taxi cab, with a shocked driver behind the wheel. There are
simulated sex scenes on an office photocopier, sex between a gray-haired
couple in a bus, brief cutaways to anal sex and lesbian sex in a busy
launderette that tilts toward orgy as others are almost dragged in. And
all with Grande smiling sweetly and coquettishly in cutaways that link
the whole affair together.

It’s called "raunch culture," which Ariel Levy described in her angry book Female Chauvinist Pigs. It is intended to encourage a sense of girls being able to have consequence-free sex like men wherever they want it.

"This
is a world," says Levy, "in which young women attend lap-dancing clubs –
as patrons – [and] simulate sex on shows like Girls Gone Wild ... as a
symbol of liberation. They see these post-feminist antics as a short-cut
to cool."

Raunch culture has spread to Britain from
the U.S. as something perfectly normal. While the rest of us do not even
notice, ordinary Muslims are angry and worried. "Our values" seem to
them – I know this because they have told me - to include an
encouragement to prostitution that heaven knows has caused enough
anguish in Rotherham and elsewhere. Levy is right when she says: "The
new conception of raunch culture as a path to liberation rather than
oppression is a convenient (and lucrative) fantasy."

Sure,
if you lock girls away, you destroy society itself. But who is talking
about locking girls away? Just restoring some sense of what’s at stake
will do. - Dr. Jenny Taylor

Yet journalists,
who are no doubt good parents, have been completely suckered by it.
Here’s just one example from pop music critic Alexis Petridis, who wrote
for the Guardian
a reflection on the Dangerous Woman Tour: "I take [my daughters aged 10
and 7] because I think those big pop gigs do something incredibly
important ... it gave her a first glimpse of a world that was previously
outside her experience ... it can provide the kind of indelible,
empowering experience ... giving people their first taste of freedom and
independence: that strikes me as something at the top of the chart of
Incredible Things Music Can do. It is also something that the kind of
people who manipulate others into blowing themselves up in public places
hate."

There is something so reminiscent here of the
statements of little girls groomed for sex by the Pakistani "uncles" in
Rotherham and Oxford and elsewhere who gave them sweets and then drugs.

"Children
were initially flattered by the attention paid to them, and impressed
by the apparent wealth and sophistication of those grooming them," says
the Home Office report
on the Rotherham grooming. "Boys gave me drink and drugs for free… I
was driven around in fast cars," one child told the inquiry. Yet
Petridis expresses no sense of irony at the manipulation for gain of his
own little girls at concerts like this one, or the "normalization" of
sexual responses to adults by children depicted in Grande’s films, which
is part of the actual definition of "grooming."

Emily
Munro of the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre says that "Children
and teenagers with behavioral issues such as 'high attention
seeking' have a much higher risk [of grooming] than others" – behavior
that is of course being affirmed and supported at pop concerts such as
Ariana Grande’s.

Sure, if you lock girls away, you destroy
society itself. But who is talking about locking girls away? Just
restoring some sense of what’s at stake will do. Thus, people can make
better decisions, and avoid waving a red rag in the faces of the
unhinged, and the otherwise incomprehensible "others" onto whom we all
too easily load what we cannot face about ourselves.

I
have heard perfectly decent Muslim academics marvel from public
platforms that God has given them such access to the “land of war” – the
dar-al-harb. This supremacism is part and parcel of Islam and it is fueled by their sense of Western degeneracy. - Dr. Jenny Taylor

For
it is when this first unreality confronts the second that the tinder
box is ignited. The second unreality is the belief by Salafi jihadis
that they are here to win Britain for Allah and that their callous
killings are deeds of righteousness against a godless people they have
been drilled to hate.

Aspects of this variant of the
faith make it obligatory to spread the religion and to triumph. It will
not stop. Being in Britain at all, for the first time in history, is
regarded as Allah’s gift to the faithful. I have heard perfectly decent
Muslim academics marvel from public platforms that God has given them
such access to the "land of war" – the dar-al-harb. This supremacism is
part and parcel of Islam, and it is fueled by their sense of Western
degeneracy. It is taught by the vast and influential Tablighi Jamaat
(TJ) group of Muslims – a group hailing from India who are not Salafi
jihadists like Salman Abedi, nor are they even "Wahhabi" – the strict
Saudi variant of Islam.

Their type of training, which views the world as "a toilet" and secularization as the second most serious threat to their way of life, has been adopted by the majority of Deobandi mosques in Britain. They see their job as to "combat Western and Christian cultural influences." According to the Muslim-run website Muslims in Britain,
the TJ have ten mosques in Manchester, including a huge center in a
former industrial unit. The TJ provide the tonic to the Salafi gin.

The
third unreality, and perhaps the deadliest because it plays host to the
other two, is the kind of political grand-standing by religiously
illiterate senior politicians like Andy Burnham, former Labour
leadership candidate and now mayor of Manchester. Burnham publicly
opposed the government’s "Prevent" scheme, which targets Muslim
radicalization, and he said on TV earlier this week: "To describe Salman
Abedi as an extreme Muslim is like describing Jo Cox’s killer as an extreme Christian."

If gender is behavioral, and sex is binary, then what we are seeing is omen becoming more masculine, and by comparison males appear less masculine.

The delineation of roles between male and female is less defined in a modern contemporary society.

One issue contributing to the alienaton of males from society, either through suicide, or AVO for domestic violence is affirmative action policy within the workplace. Being overlooked for promotion in favour of social engineering.

I read the piece and I must say that I found some of the implications of its argument quite disturbing. Is it really saying that the Grande style entertainment is partially to blame for the terrorist attacks? And the argument that the poor British are being subject to the corrupt American pop culture is ludicrous. And that the morals of your children are being compromised by Grande and her like. Really? None of what is written really adds up and to me the writer seems to be making a compelling case for the jihadists. I had to make so harsh a call, but there it is. Let's not excuse away the distorted thinking and brutality of these throw backs from the middle ages. There are no excuses for them.

To point out Grande's irresponsible behavior and the decadent aspect of Western culture is not to excuse jihad terror but to seek to strengthen Western continence, virtue, spirit, and resistance to Islam and its depredations.

It has been reported that on its Open Days there was material distributed at the Didsbury Mosque in Manchester expressing its condemnation of the immorality exhibited in the western world and decrying its lack of a sense of modesty and shame. Then along comes Ms Grande to ‘entertain’ the young women of Manchester with her displays of raunch, featuring her performing her hit ‘Side to Side’. The MTV version on Youtube shows it to be soft-core porn but the rap ‘lyrics’ are extreme hard core porn - as anyone can check for themselves. I believe that the concert was deliberately targeted to drive this public display of licentiousness by women from the public sphere of life in Manchester and that the bomb was deliberately packed with nails and ball bearings to maximise the injuries inflicted on the female bodies at the venue.
